Dear Fitness Atlantic Athlete and Fans:
Our Fitness Atlantic Championship has a new date April 17, 2010.
It has come to my attention that another promoter has scheduled a competition on the very same date, as my long time scheduled Atlantic Championship. I cannot express how deeply hurt I am to find that someone would do this, as I have poured my heart and soul into creating the Fitness Atlantic event over the past 11 years.
I would like to let you know that I am in no way affiliated with this promoter, his organization, or his event. This other contest is also in Connecticut with the same show name which is causing confusion.
In order to avoid confusion and to give the athletes the best possible opportunity to join us, I have moved the date to April 17, 2010.
This is an extremely difficult decision for me but one I feel is in the best interest of the athletes. I deeply apologize for any scheduling inconvenience this may cause any of you, but I feel it is the right decision for the show given the circumstances. This situation is one that is between me and this other promoter, and should in no way involve you the athlete. This is why I know it is the best decision to be on a different weekend.
I have always treated the athletes in my events as close as my family, so I would never want to put any athlete through a situation that is uncomfortable, or would cause you pressure and stress. Anyone that has done my show understands that my goal is to make sure you have a great experience and that people know me more than just the event promoter but more importantly as your friend. This decision is very difficult for me but I know it is the right one.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me at (203) 395-6196.
All of the event information will be updated on my website at www.FitnessAtlantic.com.
I am asking for your support now and can't wait to see you on April 17, 2010 at East Haven Performing Arts Center. Let's have a great show.
Fitness Atlantic is Brian Cannone - It is my heart and soul.
Thank You,
Brian Cannone
Event Producer

*Below are things people have said about me and my event over the past 11 years - this is a reputation I have earned and someone is trying to take the credit for my effort with an organization I am no longer affiliated with.
"Brian does a great job in the world of fitness. The Fitnessatlantic.com is very well organized and the best show on the east coast. I know Brian as a perfectly nice gentleman who is guarantee for excellent quality management in the fitness industry."
Csaba Pecsi MS, RD, CSCS , Independent Professional , Dietsport
"Brian is the owner of the Fitness Atlantic show in CT which I recently competed in. So far, it is one of my favorite shows to compete in because of how smoothly it runs, how well put together it is, and the overall enjoyable experience I had. Sometimes you leave shows feeling like you were rushed around, the area you had to get ready in was less then ideal, and for how much work goes into competing, the experience should have been much more enjoyable than it was. However, the Fitness Atlantic met and exceeded all of my expectations and I was lucky that that was my first show experience instead of one of the not so pleasant experiences I had afterward. So, keep up the good work Brian and I'll see you again next year!"
Amanda Whitney
"I know Brian as a show promoter, Photographer, and videographer. Brians Fitness Atlantic show, is hands down the BEST East Coast show... period! I as a fellow promoter I could only wish to be "nearly" as good as Brian. If you are a competitor, you would do yourself a great service to make sure you try his show out! I've also hired Brian professionally to take video and do photography for my contest. He is punctual, attentive, reasonably priced, and does a GREAT job. His work has been published in National Body building magazines, and trade magazines as well. I am proud to associate myself with Brian professionally, and as a friend!"

"I had the pleasure to serve as a judge at Brian's Fitness Atlantic fitness, figure and bodybuilding shows. For the short time I served as a judge I had the opportunity to discuss with Brian different approaches in relation to what we both are doing - more precisely we are both very closely involved in the health and wellness industry, and we are both owners of highly respected websites, considered by many users to be a top places for information on fitness, bodybuilding and nutrition. I also had the chance to carefully observe and truly enjoy the way Brian performed as a promoter of the well-known Fitness Atlantic show. The ease, with which he lead the busy weekend and the lack of tension and any major problems were impressive to say the least. I can, with all honesty state that I learn from him any time I have the chance to interact with him - in person, via email or phone. A true professional, whom I deeply respect and highly recommend to any serious business man or woman."

==================================
Fitness Atlantic has been the birthplace for top stars in the bodybuilding and fitness world. I take great pride in saying Morris Mendez, Lindsay Messina, Alicia Marie, Ulisses Jr, Annette Perry and so many other incredible athletes have started their careers right here with Fitness Atlantic. Before they were on the covers of Oxygen and Muscle & Fitness Magazine, they were on the stage at Fitness Atlantic. I am proud to say they are among the best competitors in the world and even prouder to say they are my friends.
Fitness Atlantic has always been and will always be committed to producing the highest quality fitness shows, the best competitors and the most innovative website in the fitness industry. To say I am excited about the future of Fitness Atlantic is an understatement. I have enjoyed every second of the past 20 years bringing Fitness Atlantic to you and I can't wait for the next 20. This industry has been my entire life since I was 14 years old, from competing in bodybuilding shows, running gyms in Connecticut for the past 19 years, to meeting my fiance Donna a former fitness competitor who stood by me during both good times and bad. Donna, Thank You.
Everyone has a dream and Fitness Atlantic is mine. There would be no Fitness Atlantic without all of you. Thank you for making Fitness Atlantic the new standard in the world of fitness competition. I look forward to announcing some huge surprises for the athletes in 2010 and becoming the largest non-sanctioned independently produced event in North America.
Thank You for Your Support,
Brian Cannone
Fitness Atlantic Producer
